Hillman Fasteners 40876 No. 6 X 2 in Drywall Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40876 is a No. 6 x 2 inch coarse-thread drywall screw designed for fastening gypsum board to wood framing. Constructed from hardened steel with a phosphate finish, these screws resist corrosion during installation and provide a firm mechanical bite in standard framing lumber. The flat bugle head seats flush with the drywall face paper without tearing it, and the No. 2 Phillips recess is compatible with standard dimpler bits. Each pack contains 50 screws. This fastener is a staple for drywall hangers, carpenters, and general contractors working on residential and light commercial interior wall and ceiling assemblies.

This screw is suited for single-layer drywall attachment to wood studs and ceiling joists. The 2 inch length provides adequate embedment for standard half-inch and five-eighths-inch drywall panels into nominal framing members. The coarse thread design is optimized for wood substrate engagement, pulling the panel tight to the framing face. Sold in a 50-count pack, this quantity suits small patch jobs or supplemental stock for finish work. Drywall installers and finish carpenters will find this size appropriate for field and butt joints on interior partitions and ceilings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall hangers and carpenters using a drywall screw gun or drill fitted with a dimpler bit set to the appropriate depth stop. Drive the screw until the bugle head creates a slight dimple in the face paper without breaking through it. Follow local building codes and gypsum board manufacturer spacing requirements for field and perimeter fastener patterns. Do not overdrive, as breaking the face paper compromises the holding value of the fastener.
